An "Earth-igloo" Concealment Program for Human Civilization

Introduction

There could be as many as 30 million civilizations in the Milky
Way Galaxy; some of those alien civilizations may be inveterate interstellar
predators.1 Charles S. Cockell and Marco Lee offered Homo sapiens
the first generalized alien threat assessment.

This essay examines the tactical possibility of humanity gaining advantage
over hungry space-faring alien interstellar predators via institution of
a Cannot Have Anyone Over Scheme/Camouflagic Active Program (CHAOS/CAP)
concealment macroproject; our civilization's inalienable survival program
would have to be a twofold demulcent anti-alien deception campaign including
contrived all-Earth multiple source civilization telecommunication broadcast
deceptions and a geographically large-scale staged "final proof" of Earth's
ineligibility as a potential alien food resource and, worse, a possible
source of back-contamination if a landing is made by the supercilious aliens
themselves or their macroscopic2 and microscopic3 exploratory mechanisms (avatars).4

Predicated on the governing assumption that our world populace must have
certain guiding astrobiology5 information (such as intercepted non-alien distress calls provided by SETI)6 that itinerant polyphagous aliens were headed towards Earth, CHAOS/CAP's
campaign goal is the timely creation of the "Earth-igloo", an actively disguised
planet-size stealth Rock of Gibraltar functioning as a strategically vital
base for humankind's anabasis survival strategy. (Using such a long-term
anti-alien warfare strategy, humankind may never need to directly counterattack
technologically superior alien foes since there can be no question of ecological
coexistence.)7

The "Earth-igloo" would not be an impregnable known stronghold like the
Rock of Gibraltar; instead, it would be an anti-colonialism terrestrial
strictly-survivalist fortification (completed by molecular nantechnology's
tiny machines) feigning the food-less deadness of present-day Mars.8 Camouflage using artificial material ("gray goo"9 on Earth's
surface, a programmatic circumambient superficial stratum that appears artless,
with the aim of evading all predatory aliens may become an effective global
subterfuge, just like living animals naturally use.10 If the
Earth-surface is made to appear as lifeless (food-free) as the Moon or as biologically deadly as a recently emplaced nuclear waste dump11,
then perhaps scornful or horrified aliens won't stop for a long period of
time in this Solar System, or explore it at all. Expressing a sentence in
one word, for example, "Go", as some Eskimo languages do, "Earth-igloo"
seems an appropriate holophrastic expression since Earth's surface will
become a nearly airless outwardly odd and repulsive place just as inhospitable
as the exterior of an Eskimo's igloo.12 (Even today, there are
some people who do believe/think Homo sapiens representatives never landed
on the Moon, that NASA authored a successful world-public deception!)13

Earthly geological time's end

During 1837 the term "geological time" first appeared in the first volume
of A Treatise on Geology by John Phillips (1800-74) and Thomas Dick
(1774-1857), in Celestial Scenery, provided a table listing the populations
of each Solar System planet then known! Subsequently, geoscience conceived
Earth's surface as the "finished" product serving a durable Industrial Revolution
European hegemonic civilization.14 Fred Hoyle (1915-2001) alleged in Of Men and Galaxies (1964) that were Homo
sapiens to exhaust Earth's resources as well as those resources embodied
within all remaining Solar System objects, intelligent human life inevitably
must expect species extinction.15

Aristotle implied a rather interesting distinction of Earthly event-processes (human
technology), one between cultivation (humans help global nature to produce
more perfectly or abundantly things it usually produces) and construction
(inducing global nature to produce things it would not otherwise be capable
of producing). Aristotle mulled the possibility of tools that would perform
their own work in Politics I, 4 (1253b23-1254a18). When humans mull
things over we tend to ponder deeply on every little detail; the word mull
is related to the Old English "myl" meaning "something reduced to small
particles". Certainly, a perfected future molecular nanotechnology operating
upon Earth's surface is worth mulling.16

Earth's surface is filled with interactions between minerals, bacteria and
other things and many interactions occur at the nanoscale of measurement:
"The near surface of the Earth is composed of what has been conservatively
estimated as 1030 nm2 of inorganic and biological
surfaces".17 (Nanogeoscience studies the geological event-processes
involving particles no larger than 100 nanometers, meaning in some cases
as small as a few atoms in width since such particles play critical roles
at the Earth's surface.) Homo sapiens' first artificial, self-replicating
mechanical structures were built and the first electromechanical systems
were created during 1958-59, after commencement of humanity's Space Age
in 1957. "Astrobiology" was apparently neologized in 1953; by 1982, SETI
became professionalized via an International Astronomical Union commission's
organization. "Terraforming" was coined about a decade before "Astrobiology",
and molecular nanotechnology, harnessing tiny motile machines, has been
proposed as an efficacious means of transforming Mars' surface in a Mars
geological time period of ~25-50 years.18

General nuclear war's impact on Earth's surface has been examined rather
thoroughly already.19 Thomas Lempriere (1796-1852), in 1837,
fashioned a basic ocean tide gauge that was installed at Port Arthur's settlement
in Tasmania, Australia; long-term tidal records accumulated from observations
and measurement there unquestionably prove sea-level has risen in that Southern
Hemisphere world-ocean region. If Earth's ocean ever attained its highest
possible post-glacial level it would, naturally, submerge a large area of
present-day land. Using the legerdemain of perfected future molecular nanotechnology
it should be possible to manufacture a tenebrous ersatz Earth-surface, a
veritable apparition of a dissolved human civilization which had, in fact,
absconded below this new and dangerous-to-aliens sealed planetary surface!
A monument is generally a fixed object, designed by its maker to remain
on its site for all time. To deceive predatory aliens, Earth's creature-less
and vegetation-less artificial surface must not have curiosity-arousing
biogeomorphological features20 that resemble the inviting Nasca
Lines or the derelict and empty pyramids of Egypt possibly attractive to
extraterrestrial archaeologists; however, old nonfunctioning and crude spacecraft
situated on the Moon might be left extant as an indication/proof (predial
palimpsest or emblem of Homo sapiens) of the fully unfolded deception scenario
detailed below.21

We often describe a fortunate event as "having turned the tide". William
Shakespeare (1564-1616) captured this image in his play Julius Caesar (4:3)
thus: "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood leads
on to fortune". Humanity's future "tide" might be apparently or evidently
berserk tiny robots sheathing and seething on Earth's surface; the planet's
effulgence will be "catastrophically" dimmed in mere months whilst the alien
enemy is still approaching the Solar System from interstellar space.22

Shakespeare also originated the suitable descriptive phrase "all the world's
a stage" ("As You Like It", Act II, Scene VII) whereupon people are fooled
by literary fictions of various spatial dimensions. From a human deceiver's
viewpoint, the critical phases of the alien's predation-prowling/menu-formulation
intelligence cycle are the collection and processing phases-no form of deceptive
active camouflage is more effective than feeding the alien's long-range
information-gathering sensors phony light reflections and other physical
emanations.

The CHAOS/CAP concept sprang from an existing commercial antitheft dense
airborne fog security system developed by Fog Security Systems (FSS) in
Canada.23 FSS philosophizes that if burglars cannot see what
they intend to steal, then they cannot grasp the object, or even escape
quickly from the enclosure they have illegally entered by stealth; would-be
burglars are reduced to apprehended prowlers facing court-ordered imprisonments.
The major difference is that the CHAOS/CAP macroproject will result in an
active, even roiling, oil slick-like surface covering all of Earth's land
and water.24 Instead, beneath its real-time tumultuous and chaotic
molecular nanotechnology-devised cap, radically transformed humans will
live mostly in hibernation25,
utilizing geothermal energy of ~44 TW (~0.05% of that provided by the Sun)
that is unaffected by a capped ocean's underwater "weather" and leaves no
excavation or spoil on the land; it would likely appear to the alien intruders
as if some film horror monster, like the mineral "creatures" in The Monolith
Monsters (1957), had already done their destructive superficial work, leaving
nothing edible.26 In short, the CHAOS/CAP macroproject creates
an unattractive Earth resulting, both apparently and evidently, from an
"accident" of humanity's runaway molecular nanotechnology which produced
a vitro-static planetary surface swarming with virus-like micro-machine
predators!27 (Absent Alien depredation, Earth's most lasting
memento of humankind's existence will be underground nuclear waste depositories
and bits of high-technology ceramic-Anthropic Rock.)

Earth's anthropo-architecture

Geoscience has long adapted architecture's vocabulary to describe and explain
various planetary features-arch, buttress, castellated, colonnade, cornice,
cupola, dome28, entablature, fluting, mullion structure, palisade,
pedestal, pediment, pendant, plates, floor, shelf, sill, tectonics, terrace,
tessera (Venus-specific) and window. Earth's
present-day geochemical surface is an open, dynamic, non-equilibrated, but
ordered stationary self-organizing system with both positive and negative
feedbacks.29 So far, the intelligent life form currently residing
within this Earth domain has enjoyed "seclusion", one of life's30 seven supportive pillars enumerated and outlined by Daniel E. Koshland.31 But, as Charles S. Cockell and Marco Lee have announced, that may not always
be a prevalent conditional planetary environment: humans have no desire
to become a part of the alien's food web!32 The CHAOS/CAP passive-resistance
macroproject, in part, will sculpt Earth's continental and island topography,
creating a geochemical surface that has the characteristics of landfill
waste after being bathed by plasma torch.33 It ought to mimic
the 1969 artwork Asphalt Rundown by Robert Smithson (1938-73).34 What might be its general geophysical characteristics or properties?

G. M. Wang's "Experimental Demonstration of Violations of the Second Law
of Thermodynamics for Small Systems and Short Timescales", in Physical
Review Letters (Volume 98, 26 July 2002), announced a now-confirmed
observation that ultra-tiny machines (Smart Dust, MEMS, Utility Fog)35 will be subject to the effect, either operating better than normal or behaving
erratically.36 Basically, the manufactured Earth-surface will
become a work of eutectic installation art – that is, Anthropic Rock
– forming a new type of "Earth-crust" consisting of a thin, hardened
or semi-hardened, foam-like concrete surface on land and a thick floating
surface on the ocean.37 Upon the ocean, a covering composed of
various homogeneous shapes (spheres such as bubbles or anti-bubbles)38 will float stably in all possible spatial orientations39. Some
of them may even have unusual harmonic oscillator properties40;
such properties may be useful to Homo sapiens' camouflaging endeavors since
they may be carefully harnessed to help mask (from alien-implanted seismic
detectors) all Homo sapiens-generated "cultural noise" that uncontrollably
emanates from below the camouflaging anthropogenic surface!41 Sandia National Laboratories researchers have invented a macroscopic battery-free
seismic sensor, which can be embedded in superincumbent Anthropic Rock formations,
that powers itself by converting mechanical energy from the vibrations of
its surroundings into useful electrical power.42 One might conceive
of the finished CHAOS/CAP macroproject as a massively distributed (globalized)
"immobot"43 (immobile robot – that is, one that cannot
venture into space but is totally planet-bound, unable to escape gravity).44 This alien-repelling surface will, after its emplacement during a very,
very short period of Earth's geological time, process most of the planet's
air, folding those gas molecules – especially oxygen – into
its own "body" composed of rampant self-assembling robots, and also saving
it for humanity's current and future long-term use.

Hiding from aliens means that a professionalized elite of topflight geoscientists
and installation art geniuses must anticipate every possible global nature
geodynamic effect that may ever be monitored (by meat-eating aliens) to
uncover the living eudemonic presence of Homo sapiens.45 Neither
alien planetary aeronomy nor gravity measurement experts ought to find any
indicators of humans anywhere or at anytime – zero telltales always
and under every possible circumstance46.

Only experts of a near-term future time can accurately forecast just how
the camouflage surface behaves. Nevertheless, it is possible to say that
it will receive ~0.39 mSv from cosmic radiation and ~0.23 mSv from internal
radiation; the covered world-ocean will no longer be penetrated to a depth
of ~30m by UV radiation. Although no centralized catalogue exists, the number
of living species named and recorded by Homo sapiens is ~1.8 millions.47

Biologists still have not settled upon a popular definition of "evolutionarily
significant unit"48; biodiversity on land today is ~25 times
as diverse as life in the ocean.49 Invasive species such as Homo
sapiens not only reduce biodiversity but rapidly disassemble communities
and, as a result, alter community organization among the persistent species.
Clearly, this means humans must select representative, admired and cherished
flora and fauna that can be aided to survive in widely dispersed underground
chambers. Those creatures and plants not conserved, including five million
trillion trillion bacteria, will certainly become sterilized by cosmic radiation
impinging weakly shielded sub-aerial lands (as on Mars)50 and
will, eventually, succumb to CHAOS/CAP disassembly and self-assembly event-processes. DNA samples, of course, may be scientifically
preserved for future regeneration. For all intents and purposes, Earth's
surface will no longer incur weathering since it will be a self-renewing
"cultural stone"51 – really the result of an anti-alien
Anthropic Rock manufacturing scam. Whatever it takes to survive, humankind
must undertake!

Earth's surface as praxis

While humanity's industrial activity typically superimposes upon Earth's
surface a layer of distinctly artificial composition52 and noteworthy
architectural structure, a chief characteristic of anthropogeomorphic change
is that it has no significant geological time record; there is no professional
geoscientific agreement yet that Homo sapiens' "Anthropocene" is terminologically
useful – especially as modern geoscientists are inexpert concerning
the long-term durability of multitudinous man-made objects and they often
seem preoccupied with purely reshaping geophysical event-processes (accelerated
erosion et cetera ).

Installation art (IA)53 practitioners, however, do provide some
useful approaches to the proper underpinning documentation of the CHAOS/CAP
macroproject. During 10-24 February 2001 at 499-523 Oxford Street, London,
UK, Michael Landy exhibited the machine-granulated remains of all of his
personal possessions in a display advertised as Break Down. (Such art is
in the same genre as that exhibited by Jean Tinguely and Gustav Metzger,
who thought mankind ought to speak of "global nature and damaged global
nature" only!)54 Installation artist Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-78)55 provided another aspect of the art of building and structure demolition
perfected by the Loizeaux family, owners of Controlled Demolition, Inc.
in the USA.56 In the context of CHAOS/CAP, Michael Landy's artistic
exercise seems most appropriate.

Practitioners of installation art, which has strong elements of engineering
and architecture57, have remarkably different perspectives about
anthropogeomorphological event-processes than geoscientists. These differences
are the reasons that implementation of CHAOS/CAP will be difficult: (1)
IA artists wish to win approval of the world-public, while geoscientists
want the unconditional respect of their peers; (2) Geological time is short
for IA workers, but potentially long for professionalized investigators
of a planet's global Nature; (3) The focus of IA's expression is the external
logic of the macro-problem in contradistinction to geoscience's interest
in the macro-problem's internal logic; (4) The mode of thought for the IA
decision-maker is specific, opposed to the inductive and generic thinking
of properly geoscience-trained persons; (5) Artists seek a reliable solution
for their expressions but share the desire for original insight with all
scientists; (6) IA's demonstrations and displays are usually abstruse and
qualified while those of geoscience are, at least temporarily, simple and
absolute plans; (7) Installation art mainly results in objects reflecting
multiple possibilities with uncertainties emphasized whilst the "best solution"
with uncertainties buried is sought by anthropogeomorphologists. To insure
that humanity's futurity is one of equanimity, both valid viewpoints must
be successfully blended. It may be that the schism that once separated these
groups of thinkers/doers has already been healed by technology's progress
– especially the ongoing development of molecular nanotechnology.

Does it seem likely that, in avoiding being devoured as alien-relished "people
pabulum" Homo sapiens might somehow increase its collective intelligence?58 Yes, especially in what can be a truly "Think Tank" situation! "Intelligence"
encompasses both a broad range of abilities and the efficiency with which
they are enacted; flexibility and creativity are also implied by the term.
In other words, melding instinct and intelligence can generate a very novel
solution to the macro-problem posed by threatening alien Solar System invasion;
effectively, the CHAOS-CAP macroproject is the equivalent of a major climate
change.59 Beneath the meters-thick artificial Earth-crust, enveloped
in an oddly novel "indoor climate"60, transformed people will
live in a new and uniquely different way.

How many people can the world support? Earth's human population is now ~6000
millions, twice what it was when John Heaver Fremlin (1913-95) humorously
speculated in the 29 October 1964 New Scientist on "the ultimate technical
limits to [population] growth".

Today, demography's prognostications are less grim than those publicized
almost forty years ago but, nevertheless, are not really rosy outlooks either.
An esurient humanity, already stomping about leaving a gigantic ecological
footprint on a permanently subdued global nature, may in future devise a
new type of geophysical homeland wherein Hollywood's movie Singin' in the
Rain (1952) will, if still shown and viewed, be an unfathomable film-recorded
curiosity. Such was the gloomy, yet logical, tread and trend-projection
of James G. Ballard's 1957 science fiction short-story build-up. His subsequent
1962-66 tetrology of justly famous graphic popular novels focuses on human
civilization destroyed by elemental disasters-blown away in The Wind from
Nowhere, permanently immersed in seawater in The Drowned World, toasted
in The Burning World and, lastly, converted into a luminescent mineral in
The Crystal World. Perhaps Fremlin was inspired by Ballard's surreal musings
to reasonably imagine a future Earth enveloped by a massive, yet technically
uncomplicated, shell-like constructed edifice.61

Viorel Badescu, working at the Candida Oancea Institute of Solar Energy
in Bucharest, Romania, and myself have thoroughly reexamined J. H. Fremlin's
futuristic demographic scenario, with the idea of updating its memorable
mathematical outcomes by recalculation of his model's inherent limits to
humankind's final civilization.62 (J. H. Fremlin had picturesquely
described only the overall results of his monumental calculation for New
Scientist readers.)

The team examined the thermodynamics of an evanescent maximum human population
in "Fremlin's World", a dramatic five-stage pedagogic populace growth scenario.
The maximum human population allowed by the natural Earth ranges from 300
million millions to 1700 million millions and will not exceed 1300 million
millions if an ambient atmosphere temperature of 300 kelvin is assumed.
A greater Earth population is obtained if the planet is intensively macro-engineered.
(Interestingly, the term "macro-engineering" first appeared in the 12 March
1964 New Scientist column by "Geminus" entitled "Its seems to me", appearing
at page 685 therein.) When heat pumps driven by solar energy are used to
allow heat to be evacuated from the enclosed living space towards that part
of the Earth surface acting as a radiator, then maximum world population
ranges from 1600 to 4000 million millions for various cases detailed in
our report. This is, roughly, one order of magnitude lower than the final
(that is, Fifth Stage) proposed by J. H. Fremlin.

Within the framework of CHAOS/CAP, however, it is technically impossible
to equal J. H. Fremlin's last iteration. Art's informed adherents nowadays
contemplate biotechnology's promise.63 If aliens could interact
with humans like a deadly intelligent pathogen, then our species may resist
by adopting evasive military-style tactics, securing a safe hideaway below
the Earth-surface's manifestly unnatural stage, enrobed in e-textile uniforms
(aka, "Chameleon Spacesuits") woven and tailored by molecular nanotechnology's
minuscule devices, enjoying a peaceful bionic lifetime of augmented reality64 or virtual reality existence. CHAOS/CAP ought to be classed as an "intelligent
building", an ecosystem that is its own computer65; the innumerable
life-sustaining "body-bags" enclosing non-identical human individuals ought
to be named "tethered jellyfish". The volume of the Earth-ocean occupied
by the tethered jellyfish containers will vary according to the total population
at any particular moment in geological time. Essentially, this domicile
combines a perfected cybernetics, proposed in 1943 by Norbert Wiener (1894-64),
with the surgically and gene-based manipulations of the human body proposed
in 1965 by Oswald Wiener, who estimates that future humans may eventually
consist of only the human-head. Since 1970, biologists have contemplated
future surgeries involving total human head and brain transplantation.66 (Air is human life's fundamental resource, and that can be economically
extracted from ocean water by, for example, utilizing US Patent 6346141,
awarded 12 February 2002 to Marshall L. Nuckols and his business associates.67)

Masquerading as extinct via a "Wiener's World" strategic ploy, Earth's "human-head"
population could be ~1.8 trillions (relying only on energy radiated from
the Earth-core); such unusual circumstances result in a nearly liquefied
Earth-noosphere encased by topographically uninteresting manufactured materials.
This unique watery Earth-rind/cyberspace geophysical combination is named
for Oswald Wiener, inventor of the "bio-adapter".68 (His "bio-adapter"
can be much smaller than AQUARIUS, the only submarine habitat still operating.)69

Anyone entering Oswald Wiener's "bio-adapter" becomes part of a total cultural
environment in which every possible gratification, both mental and physical,
is producible by his snugly electromechanical device. Akin to a flexible
cyber-garment currently being sought by the US Army's Institute for Soldier
Nanotechnologies at MIT, Oswald Wiener's "bio-adapter" gradually, painlessly,
absorbs the individual containerized, sundering each person from geophysical
reality, yet still conscious of gravity. Since the human person is reduced,
partially disembodied in fact, to just a brain, that person will require
only ~20% of the energy an intact nude human needs to function normally;
the brain is ~2% of a normal human's bulk.70 (Whilst the US Army's
cyber-uniform will shield warriors against chemical and biological attacks,
human neurotransmitters will be unaffected.) In other words, there will
be a one-time-only opportunity – instigated by the predicted arrival
of interstellar predators or some other Solar System-wide astronomical event-process
– during Earth's future geological time to save planetary space or
increase the absolute number of persons dwelling within Earth. Its inventor
visualized subterranean head-holding "bio-adapters" lodged beneath Earth's
then almost utopic Green-recommended human-less land surface.

Incompletely absorbed humans will be protected like autochthonous bacterial
spores possibly resident inside interplanetary and interstellar space-roaming
boulders; Oswald Wiener's nearly fluidized "humans" will be mostly liquid,
capable of withstanding uniformly high pressures like hardy ancient living
bacteria deeply ensconced in the present-day world-ocean. For safety reasons,
such as the future expected environmental impacts owing to cosmic ray jets
produced from nearby supernova explosions, the total mass of Oswald Wiener's
"bio-adapter" head-protecting units must be anchored hundreds of meters
below the world-ocean's oil slick-like hardened surface, gently bobbing
as if in Mother Earth's womb. Such functional location, mirroring the hardy
species' previous use of the atmosphere, means simply that long-term underwater
weather (hydro-climate) will be an extremely important factor for a single-society
human civilization consisting of a Disneyfied cyberspace and molecular nanotechnology
hybrid securely hitched to each other with carbon nanotubes and connected
by colorized communicational conduits of fiber-optic strands.71 It might remarkably resemble the long-purported "primordial soup"72,
or a slightly denser, more ooze-like version of J. Storrs Hall's theorized
"Utility Fog" – a "tapioca pudding". Seawater surrounding each minimal-size
"bio-adapter" will become a geographical layer (three-dimensional region)
in controlled flux under the influence of a comprehensive macro-engineering;
of course, it is expected that a large change of Earth's gravitational field
will ensue because of this anthropogenic mass distribution.

Molecular nanotechnology makes it possible to envision a pleasing prospect
of a future situation whereby the necessary resources required by humans
to exist for an "unending" geological time period will "always" be available
with virtually no effort by humans!73 It is possible this aquatic
settlement will have a virtual political capital74, or maybe
not.75

Alien-misleading broadcasts

Since Homo sapiens commenced outdoor light pollution before the species
established radio, television and radar transmissions, it is likely that
interstellar predators will be attracted by the Earth-surface's light emissions.76 After all, Earth's astronomers expect to discover life's presence on far-distant
planets via detection of smoggy foreign atmospheres (oxygen and other gases)
or strangely-emitted light-pollution!77 Man-made radio transmissions
are clearly recorded by humankind's own satellites78 and most
astrobiology specialists assert vigorously "Television leakage from the
Earth allows detection of our civilization at interstellar distances".79

Many languages – the "linguasphere" – projected as radio transmissions
have come to encompass the Earth and also to leave the planet in a generally
spherical movement.80 This means that a global human civilization
must, as soon as possible after finally assessing that predatory aliens
are headed towards Earth, coordinate their spurious transmissions in order
to convey to far-distant listeners (and television viewers), that humanity
has made a colossal molecular nanotechnology mistake, unleashing voracious
tiny machines that are eating our world-society's citizens and reducing
humankind's most magnificent erected constructions to a darkish digested
dust!81 Such a radio and television script will require the best
efforts of mankind's greatest minds – Hollywood's hacks need never
be seriously considered! The sneakier these choreographed imaginings are
the better. The death-cries of Homo sapiens' civilization's collapse and
its-literally-dissolving into a lethal sublunary moonscape must horrify
the aliens, provoking them to alter their spacecraft trajectories, passing
swiftly through our Solar System to avoid the Earth-igloo.

Relief is just a planet (or two) away

After the aliens pass, humanity's avatars can then emerge from below humanity's
protective carapace to regenerate consanguineous whole human bodies and
to terraform Mars and Venus for our future sustainable inhabitation. It
might be wise to not restore Earth's natural ecosystems for some protracted
period of time since the farther away the aliens are, the better for our
species. Meanwhile, why not reinforce their induced misperception by altering
the Moon's albedo drastically? That might convince the Aliens that a wild,
even threatening, "electromechanical race" of invisible self-replicating
robots has become space faring and capable of Alien pursuit!
